About this ebook

After years of resisting the undeniable pull toward the hunky geek, Starr discovers that fate has decided to take matters into its own hands. History repeats itself and she finds herself face to face with the seriously sexy male that she had been trying to forget.

Will the fiery and independent Starr let Deacon in? Or does her heart have too many scars?

THIRD BOOK IN THE ORION'S ORDER SERIES

Orion's Order returns in another addictive installment about their secret world of magic and mystery. A world where the power of love prevails in the fight against an ancient evil force.

DEACON

Starr. The bane of my heart's existence.

For years, we danced a flirty, banterous duet full of hot tension. Since the second we met, I knew there was something about her. It was like our stories were stars that mingled in the night sky and twinkled brighter in a desperate attempt for someone to read their shining story. Except, when I took the lead of our dance and had her heart spinning and knees weak, she ran in the other direction (or rather, sped off into the night on a motorcycle) with the taste of our kiss still lingering on our lips… and my heart crushed beneath the tires. 

Somehow, I ended up in another relationship with a fine female who doesn't twist my heart with wicked games. She is probably better for me. Yet, I can't stop thinking about the female who keeps her distance from me. The female who made it clear she doesn't want me. The female who is determined to put weed killer on anything that buds between us. The female who has my heart in her hands and doesn't even know it.

STARR

If life has taught me anything it's that there's only one thing you can truly count on: yourself. And I have built my life with this in mind. My job? Bounty hunter. I'm my own boss and, yeah, you guessed it—no partner… by design. Family? None. Friends? One. But I sure as hell don't rely on her for anything. Not that she isn't reliable or anything. Again, it's just how I roll. My love life? It's complicated. Hashtag: How in the hell had my love life become a damn Facebook status?

So, yeah, I was doing just fine on my own… until a certain male waltzed into my life. And stole my hunt… for the second damn time.

Ratings and reviews

*I received an AR copy of this book in exchange for an honest review* What we need to know and love about this book (series). 1. Read the first two books first or you will have many unanswered questions. 2. Do not let the page count scare you. If you are new to M.C.'s books you know you have to get cought up on the crew and how they are all doing that's at least 2 more books. So you get 3 books in one. 😉 Seriously I for one love it that way. 3. I love M.C. descriptive writing in all of her books. I usually enjoy one main character over the other I just could not do it here. Story line was amazingly developed. If you read the previous two books you will see it played out here as well. I was very happy to see that you could have followed the progression of their relationship from where it opens in the book but to see the earlier books referenced just made their relationship that much deeper. There are many moving parts in this storyline without any spoilers though it's almost as if you can see lines being drawn, sides being taken, wonder where it will go from here. Character development: I was very pleased with character development some new characters came out to play. Can't help but wonder where they are going to come in to play. The new developments in existing characters was interesting. Wonder about those twist and turns. However Deacon stands true to his nature and Star grows beautifully. Make sure you set some time aside when you want to read this book. Once you open it, you won't want to put it down. I loved it well worth 5 stars and more. Am definitely going to recommend to family and friends.

OMG, OMG, OMG…. I wish the next book was already out!!! M.C. Solaris just continues to amaze me with her stories. I did take my time reading this book, because I didn’t want it to end! This is the story of Deacon and Starr. Deacon is a member of the Order who also happens to be a “super geek”. Deacon is also someone who is a romantic at heart and will definitely have you wishing you had a Deacon of your own – flowers, poems, and an understanding like no other male! Starr is a bounty hunter who was an orphan and lived with the Castellan’s. She always felt alone, has trust issues and is a feisty little bada$$! She finally decides to give Deacon a chance, but seems to allow her past to take over her thoughts and she tries to sabotage her own relationship! While the main story is about Deacon and Starr, we also get to learn more about Blake and Caly; Rhyker and Keena; Aleia and Reid, Rhyland, & Jeid. We learned more about the pack and just how loyal they are. They are all a little off as they are still searching for Nico. Aleia is besides herself and Reid is there to help her find some comfort. I am secretly hoping that there is a little love triangle with Aleia, Nico and Reid! And I would also love to see Rhyland find his mate and I hope it can be Jeid. I think they would make a cute little couple. I don’t want to leave any spoilers, but this is a must read!!! Great storyline, amazing characters and your emotions will be all over the place! I was laughing at the twins, crying for Starr, cheering for Deacon and happy for Caly. MC Solaris had my attention the entire time and had me engaged in the story. Her descriptions make you feel like you are right there in the middle of everything. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars! I received a free copy of this book via ARC’s and am voluntarily leaving a review.

It’s finally here. It’s been a year since the last book, and the waiting is finally over…. Deacon is a reader of stars, future past and present are all laid bare for him to read and decipher. His job in the order is technical and he loves it, information is at the end of his keyboard and he’s a master at ferreting it out. He usually stays at the control Center and helps with the mission (directing and helping) And his gadgets are just brilliant (it’s helping the order immensely) I loved how he interacted with his parents and older brother. And I adored how romantic and loving he is (Starr snap him up will you!!!) Starr Barringer is your typical loner. Bounty Hunter and tough chick. But scratch the surface and you find a female that has been hurt so many times it’s safer to be in your own…. Orphaned, and unwanted until a family took her in, but she never really gave them a chance, she couldn’t return the love they showed her! Boyfriend and boyfriend did the dirty, so get in, scratch that itch and get out. But the feelings she has for her “geek” is hard to ignore, and that scares the hell out of her. And as a fire elemental that’s dangerous, it also explains her temper that is quick to fire up. Deacon and Starr have known each other for ages, the attraction is there, but Starr won’t take it any further! They flirt online, they tease each other with possibilities and they torment themselves with thoughts of how they could be together. In fact in a previous book a kiss was shared! And then she ran away….. And that started the ball rolling, but not in the direction you think it would!! You could happily read it on its own, but there is so much going in this book. I would recommend reading books one and two first as there is a backstory that runs through the books, and history that will explain a few things. We catch up with characters from the previous books, as I said it’s a standalone read, but best read in order as there are ongoing plots. We also have a new story with a twisty plot that I loved. Double agents and spies in the ranks!! You’ll laugh at the antics the order play on one another, you’ll cry as things don’t look good for certain members of the order. And you’ll definitely cheer in certain parts of the book (see, I said no spoilers) And we get more info on a possible new order member (and dare I say mate for a naughty panther shifter) No one is left out, you catch up with everyone at some point. I love these books, all emotions are laid out for the reader to experience. Nothing is left out, is there too much information? (this book is well over 700 pages long!) I don’t think so, if it flows well and there isn’t any filler then I could read books that like all day (I’ve read war and peace, and that’s HUGE!!) I like how everyone is allowed their say and their moment, too often characters have felt stilted or you needed more information. And I loved the dance between Starr and her feelings for Deacon, he knows what he wants, she on the other hand is super cautious, (too cautious as you’ll find out in the book) I don’t want to give anything away, but one thing I will share, and that’s the notes and poems he wrote for Starr, they were just so cute. This book is also about healing the heart and mind, loving yourself and taking care of those parts. There are mind and body healers in this series, there is fitness and fun (the author is big on those topics but it’s never forced down your throat, rather information is given in story form) So yes, another looooooong story. But buckle up and enjoy the adventure that is Deacon’s Star. You really won’t regret it. And when you’ve read and fallen in love with all the characters go back and read Calypso’s Heart (my favourite) and Rhyker’s Key. Oh….. And welcome to ORION’s ORDER

About the author

M.C. Solaris’s life took an unexpected turn during the super blood moon eclipse on January 20, 2019. She woke up and began writing bios for her imaginary friends that she met that day. As soon as the pen hit the paper (or fingertips to the iPhone), she couldn’t stop. It was kind of like one of those fire hydrants, spewing copious amounts of water all over the place. The characters and their stories just flowed out of her. She is honored to be the scribe, getting to share her friends’ stories. You can read all about her gifted friends in the Orion’s Order series (Book 1 is Calypso’s Heart).

On a personal note, M.C. Solaris is actually the pseudonym of Marina Schroeder, women’s health enthusiast and lover of all things paranormal romance (PNR) and happily ever after (HEA). When she is not curled up on the sofa with her partner’s oversized hoodie, a PNR novel, peppermint tea, and one of her three cats, you will find her either at the ocean with her toes in the sand or in a forest hugging a tree. Well truthfully? There is one more place you might find her: trolling the aisles of Whole Foods for a satisfying combination of salty and sweet while hiding in her partner’s hoodie… like any proper PNR-writing introvert.
